Phal spike stop growing?
i have a phal in my office, about 2~3month ago a new spike started to grow
from the old one which was cut back by myself more than 3months ago. This was followed by a second new spike about a month ago. But i notice that both the new spikes seem to have stopped growing longer after extending about 4~5cm from the old spike. There is sign of drying out at the tips...but is this normal? if not, how cold i rectify this? how long typically does it take for the spike to grow to flowering? Appreciate the advise...thanks!! |

Phal spike stop growing?
Hello!
It happened to me last year! I have a DTPS which was growing a spike then stopped. The spike was green and looking healthy! I think it suffered a thermal shock because it was too close to the window. It took 6 months to the spike to restart growing. If the spike is still green, don`t touch it, be patient, it will grow back Claude "boochap" wrote in message ... | i have a phal in my office, about 2~3month ago a new spike started to grow | from the old one which was cut back by myself more than 3months ago. | | This was followed by a second new spike about a month ago.

That's usually an indication that something in the cultural conditions has
turned less-favorable. Try analyzing that a bit, and you'll probably figure it out for yourself. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .
